Gold American Eagles - A Slow Start For 2010

I have been checking the U.S. Mint's 2010 production numbers for Gold American Eagles (and Silver American Eagles also). New updates are scarce so the numbers below may be less than actual coins minted but it is all they have posted on their web site as of this date.

So far in January 2010 20,000 Gold American Eagles in the one-ounce size have been produced. None of the fractional Gold Eagles have been reported as being minted so far this year. Silver American Eagles for January are stated as 367,500.

After last year's late start on production of fractional Gold American Eagles, I would have thought there would be some production of them reported this late in January. Maybe they had a change of heart again and decided to just concentrate on the one-ounce size. Stay tuned for more U.S. Mint numbers as I get them.
